B TRYING TO STEMhTHIEL 'rub)ll-: £
‘During the past ten days, the Repubi.can leaaers
have grogwn palicky and are bringing everything
possible to bear on the minds of the voters oi wus
country to intiucnce tnem into veting for the nomi
ng'es of the Republican party. The recent announce
ments of Senator Lail'ollctte, the leader of the Wis
eonsin progressives, that he cannot follow the party
with Hoover and Curtis as the nominees; of Senator
Blaine, Wisconsin, Republican, who comes out for t_he
. Democratic ticket, declaring that Gevernor Smith
speaks the language of the plain people; Senator
I‘?bi‘ris, progressive Republican, of Nebraska, and
many other changes of equal importanc. for the suc
cess ¢of the Demccratic party has created consterna
tion in the camps of the Republicans. So much so
until the leaders are grabbing at every straw in
order to boost the candidacy of their nominee. The
Literary Digest poll cr straw balloting has béen one
of thefr main arguments for success at the polls on
Nevember 6 but that has been shown to be faulty
in its compilation and a correct analyses, by statisti
cians of unquestionable reputation and ability, re
verses the face value of the poll and by fizures incon
trovertible prove the poll to be in favor of Smith and
Robinson. Another piece of political trickery em
ployed by the Republicans is that of inaugurating a
system of betting by giving odds on the Hoover-Curtis
ticket. Be it understood that the Republicans have
inexhaustible campaign funds, ..zzides the large
moneyed interests represented by individuals and
eorporations, that are used for betting purposes as
well as other features of the campaign. Betting odds
should not be taken as a criterion as to strength of
the Republican candidate, but more as a boost for'a
' lost cause that is drifting to defeat on November 6.
“In a}':scussing the Literary .Digest poll and the bet
ting feature of the campaign, the New York World
efaiees the following sane and sound view of the sit
~mation: It says: ‘ s o
. “The Republicans know all this quite well, and in
~ the last ten days or s¢ they have done their best to
- ¢onceal the greatness of the tide toward Smith by a
propaganda of defeatism among the band-wagon
voters. They have relied on two things: the betting
odds and the Literary Digest poll. But the betting
odds always favor the Republicans, even when the
Democrats are vcing to win. They favored Mr. Hughes
in 1916, but Mr, Wilson was elected. There are
’ é:idysmore Republicans with money to bet than
‘ re are Democrats. As for the Literary Digest poll,
the analysis of Mr. Fabian Franklin, which has been
. checked by cther competent statisticians, shows that
if that poll is as inaceurate in 1928 as it was in 1924,
Governor Smith will be elected. If he gets as many
~ mMore votes proportionately on election day as John
W. Davis got over what the Digest poll indicated,
Governor Smith will win by a comfortable margin.
. The explanation of this is that the Digest poll, be
» cause of the way the names are selected, counts very
. many more Republicans than Democrats. The real
" Democratic strength, and especially the Smith
* strencth, is not and cannot be fairlv represented in
the Digest poll. For that strength lies in among the
. gre~t mass of plain pecple.”
. The Pepublicon dopesters are in a state of confus
ion; tbey are unable to check the wave that is
. sweeping over the naticn for an honest government
~ 4nd for the elimination of graft and corruption that
has been practiced throughcut the Harding and
Coclidge administrations. Naturally they are grah
bing at every straw, floating cn the tide of the polit
. ieal ses. to seve them from defeat. The straw ballot
’;‘\ of the Literary Digest and the betting of odds cam
~ paign will not deceive nor influence voters. who are
- desirous of returning to an honest government. such
. as was given to this nation by Woodrow Wilson and
z.. the Democratic varty, .
~ _The convention of the Naticnal Education Associa
~ tion, to be h-1d in Atlanta in 1929, is an occasion of
. more than ordinary importance to the state of Geor
& gia. Especially is tris troe insofar as relates to Ath
eiuz:, in that Chancellor Snelling: was the leading
~ spirit in the movement to secure thé convention for

" :{;%:{e were a number of Athens educators active

" ‘cational interests which gave an entrance into the
. National Education Association and a hearing that
* resulted in securing the convention for this state and
" Now that the association is to meet in Atlanta, it
. behooves the bduca{&i}nal representatives of this state
~ to use their best efforts in aiding the Atlanta educa

pecess than it has ever been in any seetion of the

DID IT EVER OCCUR
TO YOU?
A Little of Everything and Not
Much of Anything.
By HJIIGH ROWE
The announcement that the
increase in the turkey crop
this year over that of 1927
amecunts to 4 per cent is good
news for the consumers,
Thanksgiving * Day without 1‘
turkey dinner in the home, is a
great disappointment. Turkey Day
1s looked forward to with much
pleasure by the American people.
The guthering of friends and fam
i'jes around the table at a turkey
dinner is one of the happiest cus
toms, of opr peopre. While all the
families cannof enjoy this much
“desired “repast;, it is -our desire
that a kind Providence will pro
‘vide in some other ‘way for their
enjoyment and pleusures on the
day set .aside for giving thanks to
the One who is the Father of all.
The call of the treasurer of
the National Democratic Com
mittee for funds is meeting
with a generous response by
the people of Athens.
Many of our peopie have re
sponded most generousiy to the
call for funds for local and state
expenses and now that the Na
tiecnal Committee is making a ca'l,
a num>er of them have shown
their interest and loyalty to the
Democratic party by subscribing
additional funds. The list for
contributions will be closed Thur:
day night. . Those desiring to sub
scribe may: send’ their subscrip
tions to the Banner-Hevald office,
where , acknowledgement will be
made through this newspaper and
their uames sent to headquarters
in. New York from which oftice
will pe sent additional acknowl
cdgenmient. Any amount from: ono
dollar up will e appreciated. Send
whnatever amount you feel able to
cive to this office today—please
do rot delay.
We are living in dread of
~more casualties and deaths on
2ccount of the delay of in
_ stelling electric automatic
" stop signs at ‘the dangerous
points on the strects and at
intersections in this city.
If the cost of these signs is pro
hibitive, then the mayor and coun
¢i! schould authorize the employ
ment of additional policemen to
be used as traffic officers. The
value of such service was demon
strated last Saturday alternoon
when the city was crowded with
visitors. Not only are these signs
or men needed on such occasions,
but it'is .an absolute necessity for
every day s#tvicg,, Mark ilie pre
diction: Uhnless protection is pro
vided, it will not be long before
another life wil! be given as a toll
for such failures, and casualties of
a serious nature are hound to oc
cur. Which shall it be—the ex
nenditure of & few hundred do}-
Tors or the loss of a“life? The mu
picipal authovities have the power
lm give the protection.
One week from today aund l
the Democrats of this nation
will be called upen to cast
their ballots for Governor Al
fred E. Smith and Senator
Jeseph E. Robinson for presi:
dent and vice president of the
United States.
There is no doubt of the South
remaining solid as it has always
gince the days of reconstruction.
Our people are not ready to join
the party of graft and corruption
nor, upe they ready to iepudiate
e principles -which they fathers
jeved to be vight. In Athens
! ke coun? there are few
who wil' be led of by coercion and
valigions prejudices. Those who
_ tigiarty this year will as
sume the responsibility of forming
'fll opening wedge for the return

Which shall it be? The olters
only can answer. |
. A false alerm, calling out ‘
the fire department, is an in
excusable ¢rime that shouid
not he permited td pass with
rut severe pumsshment.
Rewards should be offered for
the apvrehension of such crimi
nals and on evidence sufficient to
convict, the guilty party or par
ties should not receive a fine, but
a sentence in the stockade or in
the chaingang. Last Saturday
night and early Sunday morhing,
severs! false alarms were turned
in. Responding to one of the
calls, one of the fire trucks came
near runing down a citizen and a
‘serious accident and possibly the
loss of a life was narrowly avert

on account of age involved in such
pranks. Porning in a-false alarm

“there goes a girl to meet her

This imaginary interest of the

so. that by the timg sie rw

on the edge of Nils’ farm she had

But she grew. tired.of the farce
after a whaile and sat for a' long

to failed her, at last, for it didn’t
